In addition to Long Wenzhang, Zhou Weiguo was very loyal to Han Tiansheng. Han Tiansheng's expansion plan could not be found to be problematic, so the few main subordinates all raised their hands in agreement.
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. Fifty people will be assigned to the tank battalion and fifty to the artillery battalion.
The remaining 900 people would be given to the three main battalions, 300 per battalion!”Han Tiansheng saw that none of them had any objections, so he decided.
At this moment, the signalman suddenly ran over and saluted Han Tiansheng and the others.""Regiment Commander, the command center has called to promote you to the rank of major general of the ground army. The other officers of the Tiger Regiment will be promoted by one rank! In addition, the higher-ups rewarded us with 100,000 yuan!”
"Congratulations, Regiment Commander, for being promoted to Major General!" Long Wenzhang and Zhou Weiguo smiled and congratulated Han Tiansheng.
Han Tiansheng laughed loudly and said," Thank you, brothers. Now it seems that the Tiger Troop should be expanded. I hereby announce that the Tiger Troop has officially been expanded into the Tiger Troop Regiment. I will be the brigade commander, and all the other officers will be promoted!”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone was overjoyed and agreed in unison.
Just like that, Han Tiansheng expanded the troops into three main infantry regiments, an armored battalion, an artillery battalion, a cavalry reconnaissance battalion, and a guard company. The total strength of the Tiger Brigade exceeded 4,500 people.
After discussing the expansion, Long Wenzhang couldn't help but ask,""Traveler, what should we do next? Should they defend Qufu or retreat to Jining?”
"Our army has just won a great victory. It's a good opportunity to march forward and return to Jinan in one go."
How could they retreat to Jining at this time?”
"What is it? Traveler, are you going to continue your counterattack?" Long Wenzhang and Zhou Weiguo were both shocked.
"Yes! Why do you have a problem with that?" Han Tiansheng nodded.
"Traveler, although our army has just achieved an unprecedented victory and wiped out many Japanese troops, we have not only defeated them, but also defeated them.
However, compared to the Japanese army, our military strength is still too small!
Furthermore, the reason why the 10th division was defeated so quickly was because they didn't understand the situation of our army and were too arrogant to take the enemy seriously.
Now that the enemy might be on guard, shouldn't we stabilize our position first and recruit more troops? It's safer to attack when the time is right.”
"Wrong, you only know one part, you don't know the other." Han Tiansheng said rudely,""Although the 10th division was destroyed by us, the devils will never learn from this. We still have a chance.”
"Why?" Long Wenzhang and Zhou Weiguo looked at each other in confusion.
"Because they still don't know how powerful we are!”"So, now is a great opportunity for us to counterattack. We can't miss this opportunity, it won't come back!"
Moreover, the Japanese army is still attacking Xuzhou. If we don't act now, when the enemy takes Xuzhou, they will have free hands and concentrate all their forces on us.
"At that time, it will be even more difficult for us to counterattack and recapture Jinan!”
Long Wenzhang and Zhou Weiguo were both extremely intelligent people. After Han Tiansheng's analysis, both of them were enlightened.
They all nodded in agreement.”
"However, the brothers have indeed worked hard in the continuous battle. Tonight, we will rest in Qufu until midnight. We will set off on time at twelve o'clock and directly bypass Tai 'an to go straight to Jinan!”Han Tiansheng said,"
"As long as we take down Jinan, it is equivalent to cutting off the enemy's logistics supply line and retreat in Shandong.
They could also cooperate with the main force of the Fifth Battle Area to capture all the enemies that had invaded southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu! Completely injure the enemy!"
"Yes, sir!" The two of them responded in unison. After saluting in unison, they accepted the order and left.
Han Tiansheng did not waste any time. After they left, he seized the time to sleep and rest. When he woke up, it was already twelve in the morning.
Thinking that it was a new day and he could sign in again, Han Tiansheng decided to sign in first before advancing.
Hence, he called out to the system and instructed,""System, sign in immediately!"
"Roger that! Checking in…Ding-dong. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Sun Desheng, the War Hero. He is good at commanding cavalry in battle!" the system replied quickly.
"Sun Desheng? Was it Sun Desheng, the cavalryman company commander in 'Unlocking Swords?'”Han Tiansheng was a little disappointed." This Sun Desheng is also a valiant general. He's alright. He's just so-so. It just so happens that the cavalry battalion is still lacking a battalion commander!"”
After that, Han Tiansheng selected Sun Desheng and appointed him as the commander of the cavalry. He led the cavalry reconnaissance unit to set out first, and he led the main force of the Tiger Legion to follow behind.
More than four thousand Tiger Troops headed north under the cover of the thick night.
At that time, Tai 'an was the same as Qufu. Only a small number of Japanese troops from the 10th Division were stationed there. The number of troops was only a few hundred, and the sea was full of old and weak soldiers.
When the 14th division was transferred to Tai An, they were still 200 miles away.
However, they were still a step too late.
Han Tiansheng led the main force of the Tiger Regiment, bypassing Tai An City and the natural barrier of Mount Tai, and marched towards Jinan.
